Halloween Card Using A Colorful Life Designs Newest Release

 Hello everyone.  I have a card to share using the New A Colorful Life Designs Release for October.  Use VonFan10 to save.

On my card I used the New Marvelous Masks Arch Stencil.  There are 2 sets A & B to choose from.  I used the A set  for 2 stencils in sizes 5.25 and 4.75.   I ink blended on white cardstock with Black Soot Distress Oxide ink, Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide ink, and Villanious Potion Distress Oxide ink.  I love these Arches.  You also get the Negatives so you can mask.

I also used the Pumpkin stack Stencil.  I love this stack it's a lot of fun.  I used the Villanious Potion Distress Oxide ink and Black soot Distress Oxide ink again to ink these pumpkins.  I then cut out my background with a Kat Scrappiness Fall Craft die.  It's one of my favorite rectangle dies. I stamped a sentiment from Unity Stamps co.  {Boo} To You Rubber Stamp using black ink.  I added some card bling from A Colorful Life Designs and that finishes this card.  My background was glued to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.

Inspired By...Fall

Hello everyone.  We have a New Challenge over at Inspired by... Fall is this week's theme and we have a New Sketch too.  I just love Fall, so Happy October and Happy Fall.  I can't wait to see how you are inspired.  This challenge runs for about a week and a New challenge starts every Thursday.  

Without further ado here is my card...

I was inspired by Fall and the Sketch. I used my August Not 2 Shabby Shop JR Box of the Month for this card. I love the images so much from the stamp set called Farmers Market Pumpkin that you can only get if you subscribe...it's a great deal! So, I stamped these images onto Neenah Solar White 110 pounds and colored them in with my Altenew alcohol markers.  I fussy cut around the images leaving a white border.

I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set with some Hero Arts Caramel ink.  I also stamped some leaves on a white paper strip with the same caramel ink and cut out some woodgrain paper to mimic the sketch.  So fun. I glued everything with liquid glue onto a 4 x 5 1/4 panel and then onto a kraft A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. That finishes this card.

I hope I inspired you to enter the Inspired By... challenge.  It's so much fun.

 Hello everyone.  Happy October Yay!  I'm so excited to be a Guest Featured Stamper for the Color Throwdown Challenge.  The colors are Green, Red, and Orange.  so much fun.  I have to say colors are so much fun to work with.

Without further ado here is my card for the Challenge...

I chose to use one of my Simon Says Stamp Monthly Kits.  This one is called Butterfly Blossoms.  I stamped the flowers and butterflies on off white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo ink.  I used the coordinating stencils to ink blend using the Colors from the Color Throwdown Challenge. 

 I ink blended with Simon Says Stamp Lucky ink, Catherine Pooler Apricot ink, and Gina K Designs Red Velvet ink.  I then fussy cut everything out leaving a border using my scissors.  

Next, I tore some cardstock green and vellum.  I cut out a red A2 heavy weight card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I then cut some pattern paper from the kit using Paper Rose Studio in Best Butterflies.  The paper was cut to 4 x 5 1/4.  I also cut out a sentiment from the pattern paper and glued it to some red cardstock.  I glued everything to my red card base and I popped up my flowers and butterflies with foam tape.  Lastly, I added some enamel dots from the Altenew Warm and Cozy set.

Well that finishes my card, I had so much fun making this card.  This was truly an Honor and exciting moment to be a Featured Guest Stamper for the Color Throwdown Challenge.  Thank you so much to the team and especially Susie. 

 I hope you join the challenge! Hugs💗

Coffee Date With My Crafty Friend Shelly YAY!

 Hello everyone.  I'm so excited to have a Coffee date with my Amazing and talented Crafty Friend Shelly  We are on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Blog today for our Coffee Date. I love Coffee so much and I was trilled when she invited me.  My favorite coffee right now is Pumpkin spice Latte Hot or Iced. What's Your Favorite?  We chose to work with the same stamp from Crafty Stamp Co. called A Day Without.  

Without further ado, here is my card.

Here is a little bit of my creating process.  I stamped these cute kitty images from A Day Without stamp set from the Crafty Stamp Co. on Neenah Solar White cardstock 110 pounds with a Hero Arts Ombre Pink to Red ink pad. My panel is 4 x 5 1/4.  On another panel, I stamped the same kitty and heat embossed it with Versafine Onyx ink and clear embossing powder.  I colored the image with my Copic Markers RV04, RV06, R21, E99, E47, W2, W3, W4, and W5.

I did some stenciling on the white areas using a stencil from Kat Scrappiness called Brew-tiful Beans.  I ink blended with Lawn Fawn Doe ink. I tried ink blending the stencil very carefully.

Next, I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment from the same stamp set on black cardstock with Versamark ink and white embossing powder.  I then fussy cut around the sentiment using my scissors.  I also glued my panel to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  Before I glued it,  I used a paw print die (I think it's from MFT Stamps) and cut it out with pink cardstock and attached it to some black/white twine.  I tucked it behind the card panel with craft foam. I then glued and sandwitched everything to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I also stamped and heat embossed another sentiment onto the kitty's big cup image before adhering it with foam tape.

I love how the Paw Print dangles. I added some white gel pen accents using my Gelly Roll pen.

My sentiment was adhered with foam squares.  I used some cute pink Pawprint sequins from Kat Scrappiness to finish my card. I also stamped my envelope flap to match my card.  So fun. I had so much fun making this card.  I also had so much fun on this Coffee Date with my Crafty Friend Shelly 💗💗🐱Yay!! I hope we can do this again sometime soon!!

Inspired By...Acorns challenge

 Hello everyone.  Happy Thursday!  I'm so excited by this weeks Inspired By... Acorns Challenge #IB355.  The theme and sketch are so much fun.  This time the Acorns theme inspired me although I love the sketch too.  This challenge will run about a week so I hope you can join us, I can't wait to see what inspired you!

Without further ado, here is my card...

I love this cute retired stamp from Avery Elle called Aw Nuts. I liked this image because of the Big Acorn, Coffee, and I had never used it before. I know I waited a long time.  I love this challenge as it gets me to search my stash. So, I stamped this image on Hammermill cardstock 100 pounds with Memento Tuxedo ink.  I colored it in with my Altenew Alcohol Markers and then fussy cut it out.

I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set onto a green strip of pattern paper with Versafine Onyx ink. I cut out a white panel cardstock 4 x 5 1/4.  I also cut some green textured cardstock to mat my white panel onto.  Everything was glued to a A2 top folding card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 with Bearly Art Glue.  I love how this card came out. Usually white space is hard for me I almost ink blended around the image.  Yay for clean and simple (CAS).

I hope I inspired you to check out this challenge and if you win you'll get a badge for your blog and your card will be announced on the Inspired By Blog.  That's so great!
